It's a pity that Blake has lost a bit of the form he was in a few weeks ago. But I'm not sure if King can turn it on just for one game and what role would he play vis-a-vis Ottens?
At least Ottens and Blake have an understanding of their roles, but I'm not sure about the Ottens and King combination?
As for Playfair replacing Byrnes, you're talking about two totally different players, one a tall key forward, Playfair, the other a small running forward/midfielder, Byrnes. I wouldn't meddle with this, I'd leave Byrnes in the side as I think they'll need his pace against Port.
Should be a great game, but the Cats would be suited on the MCG.
Has Ablett had a hair cut? He looks really different - I want his long scruffy locks back.....
So you would be inclined not to change the lineup at all for the grand final? Well, just read an article about King being on the move if he is seemed not to be any use to the club. I hope he stays and somehow squeeze into the team... he was the heart and soul of the club when they needed a leader back in 2000-2003...
cats to win by 10 goals - and to be bludy tight afterwardscats to win by 5 goals after being tight early
its funny because its really obvious who it is...
it will be nice for a change that the commentators realize their are 17 other player on the field for the hawks and the whole team does not revolve around one...
it looks like the tigers choosing tambling was the right decision after all...
Well done to Jimmy, won by 7 votes and missed the last 2 games with an operation. Now all the Cats need is the Cup this weekend and it will be a cleansweep.
The rising star award, 9 all Australians, the Brownlow and hopefully the Cup to cap off a super year.
GO CATS
Give me a clue who it might be berg's!
All these ex Wesley boys have some serious issues. Apart from the obvious, in taking it up the ass.
Figuratively of course.
Hopefully they wont be able to find their way home.
Hawthorn back in the finals ,expect mebourne and essendon to be there to now there coaches have been educated in the port tradition.If port were a share company you would have to invest with strong management and great growth potenial.Seriously tech your crows are looking fragile for next year
Geelong player arrested outside club
11:00 AEST Fri Sep 28
Police say they used capsicum spray to subdue and arrest a Geelong AFL footballer following an incident outside a nightclub in the Victorian city early on Friday.
The Geelong club said defender David Johnson, who is not in Saturday's AFL grand final team but played last week in the club's VFL premiership side, was involved in the incident.
While not directly identifying Johnson, police allege two men and a woman were assaulted by a man in Moorabool Street at 4.15am (AEST) on Friday morning, who then ran off when confronted by police.
Police chased Johnson for 200 metres before stopping him and then had to use capsicum spray to subdue the footballer.
A police spokeswoman said the man identified as Johnson had come to the attention of police earlier in the night, when he was evicted from a nightclub at 2.30am.
Police drove him home to his Newtown address before they found him again in Moorabool Street.
Johnson was being interviewed on Friday morning over the incident.
The club said that because it was a matter being investigated by the police, it could not make any further comment.
AFL chief executive Andrew Demetriou said Johnson's arrest was disappointing for the club, which had enjoyed a magnificent year.
"If the allegation is correct (Johnson's behaviour) would be silly," Mr Demetriou told Southern Cross Broadcasting.
"Geelong Football Club has done everything magnificently this year.
"They have won every award, they have conducted themselves brilliantly and I'm sure they would be extremely disappointed with that incident that happened overnight."
He said the arrest had let the club down, particularly as it came on the eve of the grand final against Port Adelaide.
Bit like Piggy Muldoon (ex NZ Prime monster) when he said of some mob who preferred Aus over NZWOW! That's amazing! I have just read a similar release from the ABS which states that Melbourne is about to record its lowest ever IQ reading!
Ahem........if we are talking bloodlines - Essendon is the original "Super Stallion" thanks Petervan.With Port being the talented progeny.
